Jarvis Shaffer is an R&B singer currently signed to Disturbing tha Peace Records. He is known for his 2004-hit "Radio".

Growing Up

Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Jarvis spent many years in church where he sang solos was with the church choir. From the age of five, he knew that he was born to entertain. He thought, however, he would be lightening up the nets as a NBA basketball point guard. Even with his varsity letterman status, music seemed to choose him first at the age of seven. Listening to a Fred Hammond single on the car stereo, nostalgia is sparked as he recalls mimicking his older sister's vocals, while she sang around the house causing the neighbors extreme headache!

Moving With Music

Moving ahead, within months of relocating to Atlanta, Jarvis entered the studio to record demos and learn the craft of recording. He quickly grasped the techniques and learned the difference of performing live. At the age of sixteen, Jarvis had made it his business to hold down the full-time job of recording his Tricycle Music debut album.

Early in his artist development, Jarvis dribbled forward in a fast break causing a slam-dunk with the multi-platinum producer Sean "The Hitmaker" Hall. Hall is famed with songwriting and music production for artists like Pink, Tyrese and 3LW. Jarvis made the grade by co-writing his Tricycle Music debut single, "Radio." in 2004. Shooting for the honor role, Jarvis caught the ears of Radio One Atlanta's on-air talent E4Real and National Mixshow Coordinator Emperor Searcy.

In late 2003 Jarvis intrigued the ears of hip-hop super-producer Jermaine Dupri and was quickly signed to his So So Def record label (along with 3LW and J-Kwon). In the summer of 2004, Jarvis released his debut single "Radio". The single performed badly on the charts peaking at number 82 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The album ended up being released as an Ep and his debut never seen the light of day. Jarvis left the label soon after.

In 2006 we seen Jarvis signing on to a Indie label by the name of Starstruck Entertainment and with them he continued to work on his debut album entitled "Dream Girls".

Soon after he and producer "Madd Scientist" produced his first single "Pretty Girl". The song featured another up-coming duo named Rock City. Some how rap superstar Ludacris got a hold of the song, heard it, loved it and signed Jarvis on the spot to his Disturbing tha Peace label. He is now the featured artist on the single instead of Rock City.
